Footlights; A Different Kind of Tunnel Jam

The Holland Tunnel Project will hit the streets of Newark this Thursday, but, in this case, the name refers to the acid jazz sounds of the Newark-based band, rather than the underwater structure that connects New Jersey to New York City.

The Holland Tunnel Project will help open the second season of ''Sounds of the City'' at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The after-work performances, staged outside the Performing Arts Center in downtown Newark, will feature musical groups from Newark and elsewhere around the metropolitan area. The concerts will be held each Thursday through Aug. 10.
